- Katherine DupreeOwner & OfficiantOur fabulous founder and resident Capricorn. Katherine is an INFJ, late-blooming lesbian, neurospicy sweetheart, non-habitual yogi, admissably talented violinist, pet mom, pizza lover and spiritual seeker. “I am an observer of people. I often spend my daydreaming hours thinking about what we’re doing here and how we find meaning. Maybe that’s why I’m so good at my job. Equal parts people person and hermit, I love my weighted blanket as much as I love bad karaoke. I am the kind of friend who at one moment is offering you a cup of tea and reminding you to look after your heart, and belly laughing with you over a beer, the next. I am a sucker for travel, the outdoors, a good day planner and meaningful conversations with kindred spirits. A big fan of both the profound and the profane, I found my calling creating and officiating ceremonies that resonate with individuals of all backgrounds and beliefs. Working with couples to identify the mood they want to create and experience on their special day and then actualizing that vision is what I do. Think of me as equal parts professional, advisor, friend and soul sister, someone who can provide you with a sense of confidence, ease and presence during the special moments in your life.”
- AlexisOfficiantOur in-house creative writing pro who gives off bff energy and somehow embodies equal parts mystic, poet and comedian. “Hi, I’m Alexis! I am a self-professed blazer connoisseur, Sagittarius, reformed horse girl, writer, and recalcitrant romantic. If you lose me at a party, you can find me wherever the music is the most irresistibly danceable. Speaking of dance, I found my creative and spiritual groove through the practice of ecstatic dance and other forms of improvisational movement. For me, embodiment and the deep pleasure that comes with it are my way of connecting with the divine. I believe that affirming and celebrating pleasure, in the face of all the ‘logical’ reasons to turn to cynicism, is a radical act, and I am passionate about using words to do so. There’s nothing like the magic of a perfectly apt phrase to really make a moment, story, or experience come to life. My M.O. is a cross between your most say-yes-to-anything girlfriend and that one guy at the bar who writes his most brilliant poems on the back of cocktail napkins. Above all, I believe that what makes a great ceremony is that it has your fingerprints all over it -- and maybe a sprinkle of rosewater, too. I’m so excited to work with you on capturing your you-ness on your big day!”
- JacobOfficiantOur resident ball of sunshine. With a permanent twinkle in his eye, fuzzy beard and warm presence, it’s hard not to be all smiles when Jacob is around. “Hey! I’m Jacob. I am a Gemini, a serial cat fosterer and a down-to-earth human. I am someone who will lend you an ear in times of need or just keep you on your toes with one of my many stories. Most of all, I love meeting new people and hearing their life stories. I’m a bit of an adventure seeker, so I enjoy going on hikes, trying new restaurants, or just traveling any chance I get. If I’m not out looking for my next adventure, I’m usually just cuddled up on the couch with my wife and pets, probably watching reality TV. (I will stand by my belief that Survivor will always be the pinnacle of reality TV). I became a reverend, because I want to give my couples an experience that they will remember for a lifetime. I want to create an authentic celebration of you and your partner’s life together and tell the story that is your love. Think of me not only as a reverend, but as your friend. If you ever want to talk about the ceremony, wedding stuff, or just shoot the breeze, I will always be a text or a phone call away! I’m so excited to meet you!

Reverend Katherine was hands down one of the best parts of our entire wedding day. From the moment I saw her officiate my cousin’s wedding, I knew she was the officiant for us. She...
was kind and flexible in the consultation process; she was more than willing to work out flying from the DMV to do our wedding in SWFL. Her consultation process was like talking to a friend; she spoke to us for about an hour without us even having to commit with a deposit or a contract and that showed me everything I needed to know about her dedication to her work. She is funny, an incredible listener, and empathetic. I knew that she was processing everything we were saying and that it was all going to be considered. Sure enough, Reverend Katherine’s ceremony was full of little details that we forgot even telling her because we were just so comfortable talking with her! Between the consult and the Google form, Reverend Katherine had everything she needed to be caught up on a 14 year long relationship and it showed. She spoke from the heart and it felt like she had been along for the ride over all those years. She matched the energy we had been hoping for and there was not a dry eye in the house. We laughed, cried, and had a trip down memory lane guided by Reverend Katherine. After the ceremony, so many of my guests stopped to tell me how much they loved her — which is the exact thing I did when I saw her at my cousin’s wedding the year prior! If you need a clearer demonstration of Reverend Katherine’s heart and dedication: she stuck around and waited for one of my vendors to run and get the marriage license I left back at the hotel so she could sign it with the actual date and so that we didn’t run into any legal issues later on down the road. Reverend Katherine is not someone doing this gig for the money or accolades — she is damn good at her job but that’s because she loves what she does and the people she works with and it shows. I hope that the next wedding I go to has Reverend Katherine because no other ceremony will ever compare!

at sense of humor! We clicked immediately, and she made our day so absolutely perfect and special. I highly recommend doing the Date Night with her - not only did my wife and I get to bond in ways we didn't expect, but we really got to bond with Rev and I think that was reflected in our ceremony (and she is also an Excellent chef!!) We also opted for the day-of grounding ceremony, which was the most lovely start to our day - I'm fully convinced I wasn't stressed at all because of Rev and her grounding! She has such a calming & connected presence and she truly has a special gift for this. Look no further and book Rev Dupree ASAP!!!

is is because of the care and time she put in to asking us great questions so she could get to know us and our story. She is kind, genuinely interested to learn about us and immediately made us feel at ease while talking to her. She took such care in crafting the words for our ceremony.
Our wedding was a perfect balance of calm, emotional, happy and momentous. We didn't want a super formal ceremony, nor super romantic (although we're sure Rev would do an amazing job with that kind of ceremony too) - we really wanted to share our story with laughter and light heartedness.
Our friends and family could not stop talking about how wonderful our ceremony was and all said it was the most personal and best wedding ceremony they have attended. Many of our guests assumed that Rev was a close personal friend that we asked to officiate because of how well she knew our story and were surprised when we told them otherwise!
We're so grateful to have found Rev, for her giving us such a wonderful ceremony, and we really hope to remain in touch as friends now!

Our wedding day was made incredibly special and memorable, all thanks to the remarkable Katherine Dupree. From the moment we connected with her, she exuded warmth, professionalism,...
and an undeniable passion for her craft.
Katherine's approach was nothing short of exceptional. She didn't just solemnize our union; she became an integral part of our journey. Her interview process was a unique experience that not only helped us craft deeply personal vows but also strengthened the bond between us. Her thoughtful and fun demeanor instantly put us at ease, alleviating any nervousness we had about the ceremony.
The feedback from our guests speaks volumes about Katherine's charisma and dedication. Many are still raving about how intimate and heartfelt our vows were, a testament to Katherine's ability to capture our essence as a couple.
Moreover, navigating the legal aspects of marriage can be overwhelming, but Katherine's guidance was invaluable. She patiently assisted us with the paperwork and even provided calming reminders to breathe during the whirlwind of our big day.
One aspect we highly value about Katherine is her inclusive nature. Her genuine welcoming attitude towards LGBTQ+ couples and her dedication as an ally made us feel not just accepted but celebrated.
In summary, Katherine Dupree isn't merely an officiant; she's a true gem. Her professionalism, genuine care, and inclusivity make her stand out in the industry. If you're seeking an officiant who goes above and beyond to make your special day truly unforgettable, Katherine is the perfect choice.
Thank you, Rev, for making our wedding day an extraordinary celebration of love and unity.

Our whole ceremony was laughing, crying, and everything in between. Rev truly has a talent for storytelling like no one I have ever met before. Our guests talk about how amazing our ceremony was every time our wedding comes up. Rev will make your ceremony uniquely you.
She also helped my husband and I with our vows – I came to her with a random list of ideas and she gave me the most creative ideas about how to structure them. That ceremony was truly a highlight of my life, thanks to Rev <3

reached out every so often to check in to see if we needed anything. The ceremonies she writes are beautifully written and really hit home for us and our guests. After our wedding, Katherine’s ceremony was one of the main things people said that they loved about our day! During our ceremony, there were a couple of mishaps with babies crying/our sound guy making noises. Katherine brushed right over them on the fly and made sure that nothing was awkward and that attention was still on us (like a true pro). Hire Katherine, you’ll be so glad that you did!

Katherine is the best!!
Our initial meeting with her was super in depth and cool. She asked us a ton of questions about our relationship and each other, and then she used all that...
to compile an amazing ceremony script for us. It was so personal and sweet, and included observations that we didn't even notice about ourselves.
I've loved following along on her instagram and seeing how enthusiastic she is about all of her couples. She really made us feel like friends the whole way through. And she took some great snapshots at our wedding, which was super appreciated.
She also took care of mailing our marriage license, which had been on my list of things that were stressing me out because we were leaving for our honeymoon right after. And she sent us all the information about how to obtain the license, order copies, etc. It took a lot off my plate having all that info from her.
It was super important to us that we hire all queer friendly vendors, and there couldn't be a more queer friendly vendor than Katherine! All around she's just a rockstar and you won't regret hiring her for your wedding.
We would highly recommend her any day.

One of the hardest vendors to choose for us, was our officiant. Not because we didn't want one but because we had ZERO idea how to choose. The weddings I've been to in my life, I r...
emember exactly none of the officiants. That being said, I did not want the same for our wedding.
There was a common thread throughout our wedding plans-we wanted our guests to leave knowing us a little better. When I saw Katherine's social media and website, I knew she would be the one to keep that thread running right through our ceremony. Y'all, when I say I was right, I mean-not a dry eye in the house right.
Katherine took so much time to actually know us. Not only that, she took time to get to know EVERYTHING about us, including my love's young son. She was patient, she listened, and she crafted the most stunning, memorable ceremony. A ceremony that wasn't about religion or our extended family or anything else. It was about us. It was about our story, our love, and our future.
If you are looking for someone to really hear you when you tell them about your story, Katherine is your choice. Hands down. We owe every tear, every laugh, and every line that taught out guests something about us to her.

I could not stop watching the video of our ceremony and when watching with friends and family there was no dry eyes! Such a very very pleasant surprise!

It was deep, told our story, painted a picture, while also sneaking in some laughs. She delivered our ceremony so genuinely and like she knew us for years.

We 100% recommend Reverend Katherine, you won't regret it!

Once we got the draft of our ceremony from her, we were blown away! She captured us so beautifully. We had several friends and family come up to us after the ceremony completely in awe by what she had said. It will be something about our special day that I know we will never forget.

Katherine was wonderful! She had everybody at our wedding in their feelings. And everyone came up to me afterwards and asked if I had known her for a long time. She was diligent in...
making our ceremony and was totally open to all the weird things I wanted. Between interviewing me and my husband Together and separate, and also interviewing a couple of our friends it really made it feel like she knew us personally for years. I cannot recommend her enough.

We can't recommend Katherine enough as an officiant. She made our day so special and personal with her beautiful speech. The process of working with her was wonderful. We felt that...
she took the time to get to know us both as a couple and as individuals. She even spoke with some of our friends in order to get a better idea of what we are like as a couple from others' perspectives.
We were blown away by how personal her speech felt; even our family and friends thought we knew her on a personal level since her speech was so thoughtful. It made us very happy that those in attendance felt they got to see our love for each other through her ceremony.
If your looking for an officiant that goes above and beyond to make your ceremony personal, make you feel special, and help bring your love into your ceremony, look no further than Katherine! She is truly a wonderful person with a heart of gold.

Where do I even start to write how amazing Kath was for our wedding? My partner and I both live in Texas but got married in North Carolina. We didn't meet Kath until the day of our...
wedding but the ceremony that Kath wrote for us was so personal and so beautiful, you would think that Kath had known us forever. I truly think that one of our favorite aspects of that night was the ceremony--all thanks to Kath. If you're looking for a reverend who will make you fall even more in love with your partner as you're marrying them, look no further, Kath is your person. Hire her. Seriously. You won't regret it.

From the first moment we met Rev Dupree, we knew we wanted her to officiate our wedding. She absolutely radiates warmth and has such welcoming energy. Rev went above and beyond— as...
king us in-depth questions about our relationship and even interviewing both of our parents over the phone. Writing the ceremony was very collaborative and we felt extremely cared for. During the reception, multiple people came up to us asking if the Rev was a long-time, close friend because the ceremony was so unique and personal. It was funny, it was emotional, it was so very us! She even came up afterward to make sure we were happy with everything and had the right people signing as witnesses. We truly couldn’t have dreamed up a better officiant than Rev! - Sam & Laura

Katherine is great! She made the ceremony preparation smooth and offered us so many different options without being overwhelming. We really felt like the ceremony was about us and ...
spoke to who we are as a couple. She had helpful suggestions and made sure we kept to our short timeline. I'm glad we had Katherine there with us to help make our day special and memorable. If you are looking for someone who can customize your wedding ceremony to speak to you and your significant other Katherine is the way to go. Her rates were reasonable and easy to understand.
